Preamble
Providing time is an occupation that is greatly misunderstood and generally looked down upon by most of society. One who undertakes this as a primary profession or as an adjunct to another profession realises that they expose the most personal of spaces to the client in exchange for financial or practical remuneration. This close interaction requires a very high level of trust be established between the provider and the client, and I feel it is critical that my clients understand that they are dealing with someone who adheres to a strong code of ethics.
I strive to accomplish these major goals:
- Provide valuable, beneficial, safe, and enjoyable service to the client. In the event the client is unhappy, I promise to listen and do whatever I can to make the client happy before they leave the session.
- Ensure personal boundaries and health of either party are not compromised, that maintain my dignity and integrity, and that I don’t compromise my own personal ethos.
- Reflect positively upon the profession as a whole and help improve public perception of the profession whenever possible.
Voluntary subscription to a code of ethics has historically been one way to demonstrate the commitment to excellence in any profession. As I aim to strive towards excellence, a code of ethics is the next logical step meeting that goal.
This code of ethics is predicated upon the following assumption of rights:
- I reserve the right to screen clients to my personal satisfaction and standards and always personally determine who I will see and who I will not see, and under what conditions.
- I reserve the right to set my own boundaries, and to have my clients to respect them at all times. I reserve the right to end a session without refund if a client does not respect my boundaries.
- I reserve the right to refuse to see a client if the client refuses to accept my personal boundaries or engages in behaviour I deem unsafe, threatening, or illegal.
- I reserve the right to determine how I use my personal attributes to make a living, and to be respected for the decisions that I make.
- I reserve the right to serve only the clientele I am comfortable serving without judgement from clients or other providers.
- I reserve the right to be treated as a human being, with full agency and all other rights due me, including the right to petition for redress under all relevant civil and criminal laws of my country at my own discretion.
